Action figures rated for durability:
1. DC Universe Classics
2. Hasbro Marvel Legends
3. Various DC Direct figures
4. Marvel Legends
The fourteen-year-old points out that these ratings are skewed by the fact that the Marvel Legends have probably seen the most use--we've been getting the Marvel Legends for the longest time so they've had more opportunity to break--and notes that the older figures of that line do seem to hold up better than the later ones.
She also says that on the whole they don't like the Hasbro figures enough to play with them much, although I don't think she's entirely right because they're pretty fond of Hercules and the Black Knight--I do see her point with Emma Frost and Banshee, though.
Finally, she says that they are probably more careful with the DC Direct lines because they aren't as easy to play with, which may affect breakage.
And she may have a point, but since I'm going by the number of such figures that have been broken in play versus the number that have not, I stand by my list.
